Agree to WhatsApp’s new privacy policy or else, says Facebook SHARE Facebook Inc. announced today that WhatsApp users won’t lose their account completely if they don’t agree to its new privacy policy right away, but the company has made many users an offer they might not be able to refuse. WhatsApp said on its FAQ page that users won’t have their accounts deleted on May 15 if they haven’t ticked the box, but at some point after that, they’ll be met with a permanent screen asking them to accept the new terms of service. Then users will experience limited features, although Facebook said this won’t happen to everyone at the same time. When it does happen, users won’t be able to access their chat list, but will be able to pick up incoming phone and video calls. “After a few weeks of limited functionality, you won’t be able to receive incoming calls or notifications and WhatsApp will stop sending messages and calls to your phone,” said the company.
